"Survival of the Fittest."
This is an original 1915 tipped-in halftone print of the "Survival of the Fittest," a sculpture panel on the "Fountain of Earth" by Robert I. Aitken, in the Court of Ages at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. (Please note that there is printing on the reverse of the mounting board.)
Period Paper is pleased to offer a collection of original hand-tipped halftone prints of the sculptures and mural decorations that were displayed at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition that held in San Francisco, California, in 1915.
